Another day, another train, another sandwich from a train station vendor.
Yesterday was awesome. My hosts barbecued carne asada and char siu, There was potato salad (the good kind, with egg). There was homemade sponge cake and strawberries and cream.
The internet crapped out sometime during the evening for no apparent reason and I was unable to connect with my possible ride from Brugge to Werchter, but oh well. I guess I hadn’t sent my mobile number to Thomas after all. Also unable to check trains or weather or all those million things one does as a matter of course these days.
This morning, woke up early after a nice sleep (unfortunately, the cat didn’t visit, but what a supersweet cat! man I miss my dogs). We eventually got ourselves out of the house and wandered Brugge, really pretty town. Got some chocolates, yay! went to the market, but my hostess was having an allergic reaction, maybe to the strawberries she had for breakfast? not sure but I hope she’s better soon.
Anyway, waited for the late bus, made it to the station and (of course) missed my train by three minutes. Silver lining: the train I am currently on (yes, typing offline, it’s kinda weird but) goes through to Leuven so I won’t have to change in Brussels. I also found my ticket from Brussels to Leuven that was included with my festival ticket, so yay! I had forgotten that I printed it.
It’s raining but perhaps it will stop by the time I get to Werchter. Wardrobe choices will be rather tricky of it’s really wet. My warmest shoes are my Adidas, but if they get all muddy and stuff, I will be pretty unhappy. I only brought my good Adidas, not the older, muckier ones. I also didn’t really have a good choice for rain jacket, and forgot to pack that wee umbrella I have, dammit. I had intended to. I don’t even have a hat! which is another thing I had tossed around but didn’t come to a decision.
Sigh. We’ll see. Perhaps there will be ponchos for sale at the station in Leuven or something.
